Of course, GCC Explorer is showing us a C++ compiler, not a C compiler. There are many here who will point out that C++ isn't C or even a superset of C. ;-)

Right, but you can mostly think of it as a superset of C for things that C compilers agreed on 15+ years ago. And this particular piece of code was just using basic types and syntax common to both languages, so you would expect it to behave similarly.
